The First Year of War
The world, which had thought that wars had passed and
that it had created systems that would preserve peace and
progress, has now seen one year of the most terrible war
that the human mifid ever conceived.
What has the world learned out of its year of madness?
Has it learned anything? Some people think it has not, and
that the human race is in for a long series of wars until the
people are so crushed by taxes and losses of war that they
will be in for a new period of dark ages. The human race
has still left a basis of intelligence and reason, and some day
it will come out of this dark cloud and see light and reason
again.
The world might learn things from its year of war, if
there was everywhere freedom of speech and a free press.
The people of Germany, with the education and intelligence
they were supposed to have, could learn the lessons of war
fast enough if they could only get the truth. With a distorted
picture of facts given them every day by their masters, they
get no basis on which to make a fair judgment, and are not
now in a position to learn anything.
The main problem which this year of war gives to the
world, is how to get the truth into the minds of the deluded
people of Germany. If there was only some way by which
they could learn how they are being driven like slaves into
action which will make them hated by all men, then the year
of war would give us more reason for hope. The great fight
which the British people are putting up against them, suggests that before a second year of war is over, the German
people will discover that many of the things they have been
told are not true. Some day they will turn on the fanatics
who have driven them to the present heights of folly.
Naval Base Deal
What said Hitler when he learned that President
Roosevelt had .traded 50 old destroyers to Britian, in. return
for eight naval bases along the American continent? Probably Adolf did quite a bit of cussing, and chalked up one more
of those grudges against the United States, for which he
proposes to'get revenge some day.
The deal apparently makes it more difficult for him to
obtain that revenge. If the provision of the agreement
under which the British promise never to surrender or
scuttle their fleet is carried out, the United States is a good
deal safer. The only immediate danger to the United States
is that that fleet might fall into German^hands.
If the German air force should crush the life out of the
English defense, the Nazis might threaten to keep on with
the destruction of that country unless they were given possession of the fleet. Some Englishmen might favor yielding
to such a threat. If that was done, the United States would
be up against it. But such a contingency does not seem likely
at present.
The United States needs those eight bases. They will
make it difficult for a. foreign foe to get a foothold on our
Atlantic shores, or in'lSouth America. The destroyers may be
old, but they can do a lot of peppering of any armies that
try to cross the English channel, or any submarines that try
to sink British ships.
The verdict of the American people on this trade will
depend on how far they feel it constitutes any new war
danger. The great majority of our people feel we should
keep out of Europe's bloody turmoil. Whether or not this
move makes us safer or less safe, is a question to be threshed
out at every meeting place.
Roads^ Built for Speed
A wonderful new road has been completed iri Pennsylvania over the 160 miles distance from Pittsburgh to Harris-
burg. With no cross traffic and no traffic lights, motorists
can reel off- the miles almost like turning clock hands around.
The motorists will wish that such ideal reads might run
all over the country. Some day they will. ' How far will they
prevent accidents? If the traffic lanes going the same way
on the roads of the future should be built without any separation, some motorists might always be trying to get ahead of
the slower cars. If some incompetent driver on those roads
tries to cut in ahead of a line going 60 miles an hour, you
can't tell what will happen even on a perfect road.
Brain Sweat Needed
The boys and girls troop cheerfully into the schoolhouse
on the first day of school; but the teachers may say that
does not mean they will all put on their mental overalls, roll
up the sleeves of their brains, and shed a bit of sweat in their
effort to learn.
The.modern child has usually been pretty well persuaded
that it pays to learn. He has so many things that take up
his attention, that he sometimes has a way of forgetting tomorrow's lesson, or putting off his study until too late. Those
who are behind time in study have a way of. missing the
train that runs to Successtown.
Why Cities Grow
Among the reasons why large cities have grown into big
places, is that they have been better advertisers. The big
city newspapers print page after page of advertising in each
issue. This advertising persuades a multitude of people that
these advertised stores are good places in which to buy. So
people pour into these cities every day, and they make it possible to build up great business concerns in those cities. These
concerns employ a great body of workers.

Passengers on a Blue Ridge line
bus were slightly shaken up but
none of thein were injured when
the bus in which they were riding
crashed into the rear of a coal
truck on North Main street Wednesday morning.
The accident occurred when \he
coal truck, traveling south, pulled
out into the center lane to pass,
another truck parked at the curb.
Apparently the other truck started
to pull away at the same
time and the driver of the
coal truck sharply applied his
brakes. The bus which was traveling slowly, close behind the truck
was unable to stop on such short
notice and ran into the truck. The
windshield of the buswas shattered and the front caved in. No
damage was done to the truck.
Elmer Starlipper of Steubenville'
was the driver of the bus which
was headed for Clarksburg and
Baltimore. Another bus was sent
up from Canton to take the passengers to their destination and
the damaged bus went on into Canton under its own power.
Another accident happened on
North Main street at 10:35 Monday evening when a truck driven
by Emmet E. Bowers of Akron ran
into an automobile owned b> Jack
Hooper of Greentown.
Hooper and a companion had.
pushed their automobile onto Main
st. from Charlotte, hoping to start
it, as they had been unable to get
the motor to turn over. They had-
pushed the car diagonally across
the right side of the street, going
north when Bowers came up behind
them.
Both of the boys were pushing
the automobile from the rear and
obstructed the tail light so that
the truck driver did not see them
until he was quite clqse. 'Automobiles traveling south prevented
him from swinging to the other
side of the road. He blew his horn
and both boyaTi jumped to safety
before the truck crashed into their
automobile.
Hooper's automobile was towed
to Myers Garage, while the truck,
which suffered less damage, ~-'-yra_-r'-
driven there under its.own power.

Passengers on a Blue Ridge line
bus were slightly shaken up but
none of thein were injured when
the bus in which they were riding
crashed into the rear of a coal
truck on North Main street Wednesday morning.
The accident occurred when \he
coal truck, traveling south, pulled
out into the center lane to pass,
another truck parked at the curb.
Apparently the other truck started
to pull away at the same
time and the driver of the
coal truck sharply applied his
brakes. The bus which was traveling slowly, close behind the truck
was unable to stop on such short
notice and ran into the truck. The
windshield of the buswas shattered and the front caved in. No
damage was done to the truck.
Elmer Starlipper of Steubenville'
was the driver of the bus which
was headed for Clarksburg and
Baltimore. Another bus was sent
up from Canton to take the passengers to their destination and
the damaged bus went on into Canton under its own power.
Another accident happened on
North Main street at 10:35 Monday evening when a truck driven
by Emmet E. Bowers of Akron ran
into an automobile owned b> Jack
Hooper of Greentown.
Hooper and a companion had.
pushed their automobile onto Main
st. from Charlotte, hoping to start
it, as they had been unable to get
the motor to turn over. They had-
pushed the car diagonally across
the right side of the street, going
north when Bowers came up behind
them.
Both of the boys were pushing
the automobile from the rear and
obstructed the tail light so that
the truck driver did not see them
until he was quite clqse. 'Automobiles traveling south prevented
him from swinging to the other
side of the road. He blew his horn
and both boyaTi jumped to safety
before the truck crashed into their
automobile.
Hooper's automobile was towed
to Myers Garage, while the truck,
which suffered less damage, ~-'-yra_-r'-
driven there under its.own power.
